Mukkabaaz, Kaalakaandi, 1921 & The Post – Box Office Update

Last Friday, a series of movie releases hit the theaters but unfortunately, none of them have managed to bring in any decent bucks or footfalls. Anurag Kashyap’s Mukkabaaz, Saif Ali Khan starrer Kaalakaandi, Vikram Bhatt’s 1921 and Steven Spielberg’s The Post are trying hard to attract the audience.

Mukkabaaz has collected a total of 5.57 crore in 5 days. This sports film cum love story has got exceptional reviews from critics and even the recommendation from crowd is good but its collections are not impressive. However, Anurag Kashyap never really makes films to mint huge money and his Phantom Films would be happy with such numbers as the movie does not have a big budget.

Saif Ali Khan starrer Kaalakaandi has also performed on the same line of Mukkabaaz but it was expected to collect much better as it had a bigger appeal and had an urban target audience. It could only manage to mint 5.30 crore. Unlike Mukkabaaz, Kaalakaandi doesn’t even has good reviews so it won’t be showing much sustenance.

Vikram Bhatt’s 1921 has turned out to be a better film in terms of collections than any of the releases last Friday. It has neared the 10 crore mark and will be crossing it by today itself. Audience seems to be interested in this horror flick and is overcoming the competition.

Steven Spielberg’s The Post is garnering outstanding reviews across the world and has got a good response from India as well. Having a limited release in India, The Post has collected 1.59 crore. The numbers are not much but owing to its 87 screens in India, it’s not at all a bad number.
